We also started paying class dues, 10c each, a month. The school also has HOVV THE STATES GOT THEIR NAMES More than half the states of the United States have Indian words for names. Twenty-three have names that are purely Indian. They are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Con- necticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kan- sas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michi- gan, Minnes-ota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebnaska, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla- homa, South Dakota, Tennessee, Tex- as, Utah and Wisconsin. In addition, ,there is Indiana, the Mex- state of the Indi-ans, and New ico. The World Mexico is derived from the Aztec word mex-itli, which was the name of national war god of that tribe. As for Oregon, a half dozen differ- ent explanations of this name have been offered. Some of these are In- dian, so that Oregon may belong with the 'states listed above. Most of the other states, such as Washington, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey, were named in honor of various persons or places. Other state names are foreign words descriptive of the locality. Thus Col- orado is Spanish for red and Florida is from a Spanish word for flowers. Were any of your'boyish ambi- tions ever realized? asked the sen- timentalist. Yes, replied the practical per- son, when my mother us-ed to cut my hair I often wished I might be bald-headed. convocation each Friday with the assistance of each class in the school. The Sophomores have 1140-t partici- pated in any high school plays but strveral of the pupil-s have 'taken part in the operetta, directed by Mr. Shull. Mr. Sharp has allowed each class two parties a semester. We have al- ready had 'three this year. We are very glad to add that Eleanor GitzlaE an-d Vivian Kearney entered the county's first year Latin contest. Eleanor won first place. We also have several boys who play on the second team in basket ball. We're expecting them to be great stars some day. Since our class still has two years of high school yet, we hope to proflt by it.
